Onset and duration periods of articaine and lidocaine on maxillary infiltration

The efficacy of infiltration anaesthesia for adult mandibular incisors: a randomised double-blind cross-over trial comparing articaine and lidocaine buccal and buccal plus lingual infiltrations

“…One study 27 found that the onset times of pulpal anaesthesia in lower third molars after IANBs with articaine and lidocaine were 0.93 min and 1.25 min respectively. Costa and colleagues 28 reported shorter onset times in the maxillary posterior teeth when compared to the current mandibular study. This is probably because of differences in the cortical bone density and thickness between the upper and lower jaws.…”

Efficacy of 4 % Articaine and 2 % Lidocaine: A clinical study

“…Today it is considered as a reference standard against which other local anesthetic agents are compared. Various studies have been done in dentistry evaluating the safety and efficacy of Articaine [10,11,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Since its introduction in 1969, Articaine has gradually become implanted in Europe.…”

“…Articaine stands better in this respect though statistically it is not significant. Haas et al [25], Vahatalo et al [26] and Costa et al [36] stated that 4 % Articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine clinically presented the shortest onset and the longest duration periods and both Articaine solutions produced shorter onset and longer duration of pulpal anesthesia by maxillary infiltration than the Lidocaine solution but statistically did not confirm better clinical results. Moore et al [40] reported mean duration of pulpal anesthesia was (A100)61.8 ± 59 min and (A200)51.2 ± 55.9 min.…”

Efeitos cardiovasculares da infiltração maxilar da articaína e lidocaína associadas à epinefrina em procedimentos restauradores

“…As comparações dos períodos de latência e duração pulpar para os 3 anestésicos locais estudados já foram, previamente, apresentadas na defesa de dissertação de mestrado e publicadas - Costa et al (2005c).…”

“…Em países como a Alemanha e o Canadá, onde existe um rígido controle de qualidade, esta é a formulação anestésica mais utilizada pelos cirurgiões-dentistas (HAAS; LENNON, 1995;WEAVER, 1999) e, recentemente, foi introduzida nos Estados Unidos (MALAMED, 2005;MIKESELL et al, 2005). Por ser um anestésico local de amplo destaque, diversos estudos têm intensificado as comparações de suas propriedades com a precursora lidocaína (BERLIN et al, 2005;CLAFFEY et al, 2004;COSTA et al, 2005c;LEBLANC, 2000;MIKESELL et al, 2005;MOLLER;COVINO, 1994;NUSSTEIN et al, 2004;OLIVEIRA et al, 2004).…”
